Hey guys,
First post on the forum, so I hope I don't offend/irritate with my dumbass questions,
I successfully flashed to the Black Shadow IV rom yesterday. I installed all th e helpful cab files to restore my settings to the orange standard and got the skdcert fix for the voicemail quirk. All seems (seemed) to be running smoothly but I then stumble upon a problem.
I have found that I am resetting the device more than I should due to the fact that whenever I try to make a call, 5 times out of 10 the phone just crashes, all the buttons freeze up and the touch screen doesn't respond. On the odd occassion the buttons freeze but the screen still responds butr there's no way to drop the call. It just wont have it.
I upgraded to the Black IV shadow rom, but did not upgrade the radio which was out of the box at version 1.38.00.01. Could this be the root of the problem? I am running SPL- 2.10 Olipro.
Any ideas guys, you're the experts, I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut.
Thanks in advance.

The 1.38 radio is pretty stable. However, if you are in the US, you might want to try upgrading it to the 1.40 radio which is AT&T optimized.
That ROM was released and is supported here: http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc-hermes/
Same happend to me too, I used Black Shadow IV for a week and now removed it, It is not stable.
My Jasjam hangs all the time and when conncting to PC.
Regards
Yeah, same. I used it for 3 days or so and crashed frequently. No additional programs installed either. BAD ROM
i've had nothing but a good experience with Shadow IV. ::shrug:: seems stable enough to me. it's never locked up on me and i've never had to reset except when i chose to to clear out the old memory once in a while.
as i mentioned in another thread, i have not installed any spb apps since they seem to have problems w/ WM6. i've had problems on a couple of different ROMs w/ the Spb apps.
could it be something that you've got installed and not the ROM itself? i had to do a little process of elimiation by installing basically one or two apps a day and seeing how it ran. things started going badly when the Spb apps were on there (Mobiel Shell, Time, Weather, Diary) so I haven't reinstalled them.
anyway, it could be something other than the ROM that is causing the instability.

having multiple problems as well. cannot send text messages on cingular even after trying multiple fixes, frequent slowdowns, have had to soft reset at least once daily and also having problems with random lockups when charging. Going to reflash another rom.

Am on Orange UK, and after running Black shadow for a while now I would rate it as the most stable ROM I have used. Admittedly I have only dabbled with some of the others, but have not felt the need to do more as am happy with what I have.
I did have an issue with SPB weather that others did not seem to have, but after romoving it, everything seems to be running fine. I soft reset every few days etc but I am happy with that.
Tis a bit strong to write BAD ROM with such certainty based on an individual experience, given that it works well for so many. Perhaps "This ROM did not work well for me" would be better.
Just a thought.

May be it is the radio rom, I have now installed radio 1.38 then Black Shadow IV and will try it for a few days and see how it works.
Also crash
Also crash and then back to Black 3.5 rom is Stable!
Still the same even with Radio 1.38, Crash when connected to PC and deep sleep in standby.
Use to have same problems while running CE-Star. Virtually permanently freezing on making/receiving calls, sending SMS and simple operations with the device.
After manualy setting chinese character set (thanks to XDA-Devs WIKI ) the ROM is extremely stable. Even trying to "destroy" the system with multiple operations (calls, internet browsing, sync, installing new soft, etc.) do not freezes it - very stable.
Suspect in your case you are using software which makes some changes to the system, consequently destabilizes the ROM

Been running Black Shadow for 5 days, alongwith Radio 1.43, without any problem...
I've been running Black Shadow on T-mo US w/1.43 rom and I've had no problems.
I have been running Black Shadow since it was released and no problems so far.

Use WIKI and SEARCH funstion
You can go first to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ and click on Hermes. After that use SEARCH function with keyword "chinese". Should get the following page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweak_Language_Chinese
I am using for few days Black Shadow with 1.43 Radio, able to read Chinese Characters thanks to the described in WIKI method and no problems. Personaly I installed A4 input method as it serves me at best. I didn't change the registry manualy, but used the cab, it works perfect. Simply follow the instructions.
The only issue is that when serving internet with IE Chinese sites do not apear properly. Suppose it is needed additional fixing of the fonts in IE. Do not have time at present to explore the issue, but suppose to deal with it next week. In case you find a solution for IE please share the method on this thread-- Thanks
PS. Have tested Micrsoft Input -- simply do not works. Causes a lot of problems and destroys totaly the standard inputs
All,
I have been running this ROM for just under a week and the thing has been 100% solid - not a single problem.
I also agree with a previous statement in this thread, that to refer to the ROM as "BAD" based on a single attempt is somewhat unfair! Maybe it is this sort of thing that has forced some of the more senior Hermes developers away from this site and on to another location. Ever thought about it that way?
It is just my opinion, but we (all forum users) should do one of two things if we "chose" to use someone elses development. They are,
Acknowledge (privately or publically) the time and effort that has gone into producing something. The best way to do that is by constructive feedback even if the experience hasn't been as you expected
Say nothing if you can't make it constructive!
To place a one liner in a response with a "throw away" comment is about as useful to either the developer or the other forum users as.........well,..................no I won't go any further because it's not constructive
For the record - this version of the Black release has rectified a localised issue I was having with my WLAN that other version had not resolved.
If you chose to use it - great, join in. If not, equally great. Good luck with your chosen selection of ROM.
Rant end

Hi folks,
Just a quick question...
I've just switched from the HTC Official WM6 ROM to Shamanix's Grass V1.3
On the HTC Official ROM WLM worked fine; I've installed the WLM 10.6.33.0600 (Fixed) CAB to my device but when it comes to synchronising on the first sign-in it just says that it failed with a message saying there might not be internet connectivity. I've got the T-Mobile UK settings installed and working fine because IE is happy to browse pages (and of course WLM verifies my username and password when first entering)...
I uninstalled this version and also tried the WLM Build 1400 version too and the result is exactly the same.
Does anyone have any idea why it might not be working?
Thanks in advance!
Rob.
the same prob
Welcome in my same Sh..
I have your same problem and unfortunately i couldn't fix it yet,i've tried to change different Roms too,but in vaine.Everything on my device works properly,like Skype,PIE,Etc.But the worst thing is that it doesn't allow me to check my Hotmail on internet too!!!Unbelievable!!!!
I'm using schaps and here it works flawlessly.
You might want to try that otherwise there might be a problem with the account you have at your provider.
i had the same problem, every rom i tried with it cooked in worked fine (black/schaps full etc), but using light roms and any of the various wlm cabs gave me the same errors, my account on wlive was fine.
this issue stopped my use of light roms and ive had to use full roms since.
I'm using a light rom and WLM1600.. works pretty fine..
Hard reset should do the job..
Hello friends
I have Morna's 1.8 WWE Enhanced ROM (great ROM by the way) but I have noticed this flaw/bug on this and other ROMS in the recent past.
When I select SMS and begin to write my message after inputting the first word or first character (either directly or through T9) it just disappears after the screen blinks for a split second.
Therefore I have to just type in a "dummy" or "fake" character first before I type in my real message.
I have noticed these on the 2.03 ROMS. Its quite a problem especially since I sms a fair bit.
Does anyone have any solutions please?
Thank you.
Hey,
Yeah noticed the same problem on loads of the ROMS I've tried.
Currently I'm using Macadam (love it), Touch Input has this issue, however, when I switch to Shapewriter, which I prefer, the problem goes.
Give shapewriter a go?
I have had the same issue with every rom I've used for a while. It seems to be happening after the mass change to the 2.0x roms.
v2.xx ROM's...
I agree. I've only suffered this issue since using v2.xx ROM's. It doesn't happen every time I use the keyboard though, so what's actually causing it I don't know.
Has anyone noticed if a certain application is causing it, or is it a 'general' keyboard issue. It might be related to the messaging app and nothing else?
Yeah, I also experience this I'm running rstoyguy's ROM and have had this same issue wuth many different ROM's...
I am glad it not only me that has this problem.
I have only noticed it in the last round of roms that came out.
I have this problem too, even on the vanilla HTC ROM update (after I restored my SPB backup - didn't try sms before restoring)! At least this thread tells me I should go back to an older version ROM until someone manages to fix it!
Hello,
I've been going through the forums but I can't figure out what is going wrong.
I have a HTC Desire With Froyo and of course HTC Sence.
When I select a contact card and I go to the gallery TAB to access the Facebook photos The gallery won't display anymore.
Instead I get a message that repeat itself saying "update in progress" Loading, to finally say "no album" on every contacts.
It use to work fine, I'm not sure if this is happening since Froyo update.
Has anyone got the same problem and know how to fix it?
Thx,
Frem
I'm the only one with this problem ???
Ok i gave more info now. The bug happens only in 3g. When i use wifi the gallery appears corectly.
Bug is still happening please help me.
I have the same problem.. Still no answer?
I am having the same issue, It works perfectly over wi-fi but not at all via 3G. I'm going to try a different SIM card to see if it might be my provider.
Are you guys using the phone on it's intended provider or are you unlocked and using it with a different SIM.
It seems to be affecting "places" for me as well, I can't check in, it gets stuck on "loading content..." but it works perfectly fine on WiFi
When i start Faceboob first time (after reboot) i can see everything, but when i use it second time the gallery can not load, only see white pics. Have this issue with 3g and Wifi.
for those of you having this issue what network are you on? I am trying to narrow down the issue.
I have the issue on all 3 of my phones, Motorola Milestone, Nexus One (CM 7) and with my Desire HD (North American, tired with several different ROM)
The problem affects the following
No notifications in Facebook official app
Can't Check in to Places, if finds a list but when I click on one, it gets stuck loading data
Facebook for HTC Sense also has issues, 1st is with the Gallery
I cannot load my facebook friends galleries, it just gets stuck then times out and tells me they don't have any galleries (they do)
Contacts sync in Facebook for HTC Sense
All of the above do not work on my phone while on the Rogers wireless network, everything works perfectly while on Wi-Fi. I have used my Telus SIM in all three phones and it works perfectly, I have also used my friends Bell SIM in all 3 phones and it works perfectly. It only happens on Rogers but when I call Rogers tech support they refuse to acknowledge the issue and tell me to contact facebook about it.
Anyone else still having this issue?
Hey guys!
I installed Cyanogenmod just a few days ago for the first time.
I was (and still am) very happy with the replacement, but I ran into one issue related to sound. Before I installed cyanogen (on the default ROM) I had an issue with the Skype app: my voice sounded like a chipmunk. I thought it was a Skype problem. After installing this problem was FIXED! I was really happy. But then somebody called me on the ordinary phone and THEIR voice was distorted terribly and I was unable to hold conversation. I googled feverishly and found an "audio policy.zip" in a forum post related to a similar problem. It said I was to flash that file. And I did. Voila, the issue was indeed fixed! BUT, now Skype doesn't get audio input from me at all, and Viber also has a similar problem. So essentially I fixed one problem but got another instead. My guess is that the audio policy file wasn't perfectly configured for my specific phone, and...
that's what I need help with. Either to get a pre-configured file for my specific phone, or for somebody to help me configure it manually. This is what my current file looks like: pastebin.com*ZaTXd1UZ (replace * with / ). Please help.
